How the Eyes are Indicators of Health and Proper Personal Care

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, but how healthy your eyes are tells a lot about you. And don't think that only blue, green or brown eyes are beautiful. Even simple black eyes can be a thing of beauty if you know how to care for them.

I think it's useless to say here that watching TV or gazing at the PC screen a long time can be harmful to your eyes. I mean, most times you can't but watch TV a long time or stare at the PC screen for long periods---unless you leave the city and live in the mountains.

So, given the urban living conditions today, how can you care for your eyes?

One, eat red and yellow fruits and vegetables. The bright red color is actually lycopene and is good for the eyes. The yellow or orange or yellow orange color is a flavonoid which is really an antioxidant that fights free radicals. Free radicals can weaken your eyes.

I love eating yellow bananas (don't laugh because there are red, blue and green bananas) and I heard that the black dots you see on the peel are really an indicator that they have more nutrition.

Anyway, if you lack luster and glow in the eyes, it may mean you have inner health problems, even serious ones, like liver or blood problems. The eyes are windows of the body and its internal systems. Doctors often look at them to see if they're healthy. Healthy eyes often mean good overall health. Christ himself gave a hint on this:

"The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light."

Thus, to get rid of sick-looking eyes, stay on tiptop health and shape.

But tired eyes are another story altogether. You may be healthy inside but the body will get tired sooner or later with stress and prolonged physical activity. Tired eyes due to stress is what we don't want. Because stress is not remedied with rest. You have to get rid of the source of stress to get rid of tired eyes due to stress.

Get it?

But there are ways to help minimize tired or stressed eyes aside from getting rid of stress. So, while weeding out stress (example through exercise and mental relaxation), you can apply effective first aid remedies to make your eyes look good and full of life. Often, physical attraction starts from the eyes. So if you want to appear attractive to the opposite gender (or get extra plus points to possibly get hired), start with your eyes.

You wouldn't want to meet someone romantically or meet the big boss of a company when applying for a job with your eyes all puffy, with dark spots or wrinkle lines at the sides. And you've got to have a solution for this instantly, like right on the spot. What would you do?
